Applicable law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Toyota GB (Plc) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the TGB Group") are committed to conducting business openly, fairly and honestly.

This policy applies to all TGB Group personnel plus certain contractors on each occasion they have contact with an individual, firm or organisation outside the TGB Group (collectively referred to as "External Persons") for Toyota business purposes. External Persons include without limitation: prospective and existing suppliers; prospective and existing customers; prospective and existing network centres and service outlets; public bodies with whom the TGB Group has a non-commercial relationship; charities; and competitors.

It should be noted that TGB Group personnel are required to report internally amongst other things:

Any External Person that acts improperly may find their relationship with the TGB Group curtailed either at an individual or corporate level. Further action may be taken depending on the seriousness of the situation.

Toyota Customer Charter

At Toyota we are committed to providing a high level of customer satisfaction and quality products. Both Toyota GB (Plc) and our Toyota Centre network abide by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute approved Motor Industry Codes of Practice for vehicle sales, service and repair. However, we recognise that we may not always be able to offer dispute resolutions which suit all parties involved.

The first point of contact should be the Toyota Centre you purchased your vehicle from when querying an issue with your vehicle or the service you receive. If this cannot be resolved this can then be escalated to the Centre Manager, or Managing Director of that particular group.

Should this option not provide a suitable resolution, the next option is to contact The Motor Ombudsman. The Motor Ombudsman is a provider of Alternative Dispute Resolution, offering an impartial service to resolve a compliant. They can be contacted at www.themotorombudsman.org or on 0345 241 3008.

Our New Car Sales Commitment

All vehicles featured in our warranty, pricing and marketing publications will be advertised honestly. The most up to date information regarding your new vehicle purchase can be obtained from your Toyota Centre.

We advise that necessary precautions are taken in order to check that the specification, appearance and dimensions of your potential purchase match your requirements. A test drive of the vehicle is highly recommended and we suggest that any specification queries are taken up with your Toyota Centre before purchase.

Our Used Car Sales Commitment

If you are buying a used car you should check the vehicle history, check that the vehicle has all the features you need and thoroughly inspect the vehicle to ensure that you are happy with the condition.

In the event of an issue arising through the purchase of a used car, the contract of sale is through the Toyota Centre and not Toyota GB (Plc), therefore any issues should be taken up with the Centre Manager or, alternatively if you feel that your dispute is not resolved you can contact The Motor Ombudsman.
